A COMPLAINT.

JsTo The Editor. SIR,—In your leader of t ot[ > entitled Colonel Lynch’s Effort see fit to make some sweeping tiousjagaiust the Catholic in Ireland, and that without tacts, and I have no doubt would do the same Church here only you are aud Ireland is farther away Marton. The fact as to is right to enforce conscription Ireland without a Referendum the people there has been the minds of the greatest at Home for some time, and the British Cabinet deciding conscription without a have decided to abandon the and to adopt a system of enlistment, no doubt for some cause known to them. But it men as you, Mr Editor, with V deep hatred of anything and from your place in the chair, that would tend to voluntary recruiting in country,, and to stir up (hat in any young country, viz., an strife. Remember, Mr when you speak against the Church in Ireland you speak a the Catholic Church in New also, aud I have yet to know your opinion of the Catholic in Ireland is the correct one. this awful war is over there wifi plenty of loyal Catholics in Zealand prepared to debate matter with you. Editors of papers should be more than of their opinion's in a young like this, where Catholic and testant are alike shedding blood to put down once aud for the German menace. Knowing of your directors, as I do, I am it is not their wish that such tides should appear in the cate, and it comes in had from yon, for whom proxy forms were brought a short to Catiiolic aud Protestant holders of the paper alike, to you in your present position. —I g^^B H. Me MAN A WAY, ■ Bulls. July 17th. [We have no intention of gaging in a controversy ou t.irian matters, especially such a tempestuous pendent as Mr H. way. We ouly desire to that the whole of his tirade directed to something we not said, and that only exists his own imagination. We fault with no doctrine or of the Catholic Church, trust we never shall say thing in derision of theological belief. We therefore, be held for Mr McManaway’s lack discrimination, with the taut accusation of intolerance which we regard as a insult. We simply “blamed Catholic Church in Ireland a policy absolutely secular its character, which no Catholic Church iu the world tf is likely to copy, which every other Church in the world The action we criticise purely political aud —ic may necessary to euiphaasise it Mr McMauaway’s sake—criticism was not intended by direct affirmation or by rect inuendo, to retlecf ou body’s religious belief. Mr McMauaway writes again should try to understand deference between politics religion.—Ed. Advocate.
